Rohit Yadav Javelin Early Life

Rohit Yadav was born on 6th June 2001 in Uttar Pradesh. His father Sabhajit Yadav is an amateur runner and a farmer who encouraged him to take up athletics. Growing up in the small town of Dabhiya Rohit lacked any kind of athletic facility, there is no gym.

Rohit won the gold medal at the World School Games 2016. It was a dream start to his career. But things took a turn for the worst as he was suspended for one year following a failed dope test. His sample A was found with the banned substance called ‘stanozolol’. It was a terrible blow to him as he pleads his innocence. After he served his one-year suspension, he was back on the track and even more determined than before.

He participated in a series of domestic competitions since then. He won the Indian U-20 Championship with a throw of 76.68m.

He kept on going and won the gold at the National Federation Cup with a throw of 81.83m. This throw confirmed his qualification for this year’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
